British businessman Sir Jim Ratcliffe has previously been linked with a takeover at Chelsea for a number of years.

However, Roman Abramovich remains in charge of the Blues for the foreseeable future after Ratcliffe's business Ineos' move to take over Ligue 1 side Nice back in August.

The Russian took over at Stamford Bridge in when he purchased the club from Ken Bates back in 2003, and he has overseen five Premier League title wins, five FA Cup wins, three League cup victories, two Europa League wins and one Champions League victory.

Back in January it was revealed (via Forbes ) that Abramovic had invested £247 million into the club, despite not attending a game in two years.
